5:12 a.m. - Today is supposed to be yet another day of storms - the first wave this morning and the second w

ave later today.  The worst of the worst is supposed to be Central Illinois, which is sort of good.  The storms won't be here, but unfortunately, the trip I'm going on is going right into the area that is forecast to have a tornado outbreak.  That's just great.  I am looking forward to that trip, though, that features on leadership and uses Lincoln as the topic.  Before that, though, I'm headed into Farm-n-Fleet this morning with the truck to get new tires.  I don't really want to spend the money right now, but it needs to be done.  I'm not getting the exact same tires as are on there now, so I'm also hoping that I've selected quality tires that will meet our needs.  If the weather is cooperating, I hope to walk down to a coffee shop from Farm-n-Fleet to try it out.  It's a good thing there aren't any slots nearby.  

Yesterday was a busy day.  I did have a physical therapy appointment, and that went well.  Then I headed off to IC Elementary, and got some work done, including some important work.  On Monday night the recommendation for a kindergarten teacher was approved, so now all of our staff is set for the school year.  That's BIG!  I just hope I don't have any more staff to hire, despite what I know is coming at the end of first semester.  And I won't have to complete one of the hires, as that is a kitchen worker.  I think the only position I will have to handle is the paraprofessional position.   

After the work at the office, the day got busier.  I went to mom and dad's and worked on their hedge in the front of the house.  Then at home, I got the yard mowed.  Amber and I wrapped up the evening with a good supper (breakfast for supper), and then we got in the hot tub for a bit.  I finished the night watching some Cubs baseball and some World Cup soccer.  

Yesterday, the decision was made to camp this weekend at Haven Hills - that's the new campground near Aledo that I swore I would never go to because of the cost.  Amber, though, would like to try it, and it's her birthday, so let's do it.  I really would like it to go well, so we have another local campground to attend, but this is more of a "resort", so if it goes well this weekend, maybe this would be a once a summer campground for us.  Don't get me wrong - a resort is nice; I'm just cheap and don't want to pay $80 per night when I can go to other places locally for $30 a night.
